Australia determined to end BGT drought, says star pacer Hazlewood
The Statesman|November 21, 2024
Ten years ago, when Australia last beat India 2-0 in a four-Test series Down Under in 2014-15, Josh Hazlewood made his debut in the longest format.
Australia determined to end BGT drought, says star pacer Hazlewood

A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then, as India made rapid strides by winning the next four Test series, including their last two tours Down Under in 2018-19 and 2021-22.

While the Kangaroos have bested India to claim the World Test Championship 2023 final, Hazlewood felt that winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a decade has been high up on their wishlist.

As the two teams brace themselves for a grueling five-Test rubber, for the first time since 1992, Hazlewood said that there are only a handful in the current Australian side who were part of the triumphant 2014-15 party, and thus it provides an extra motivation for the others to go hard at the visitors when the Test series begins Friday at the Optus Stadium in Perth.

Face bouncers like taking bullet for India: Nitish reveals Gambhir's words

Nitish Kumar Reddy was primarily preferred over the seasoned spinning duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja for the opening Test against Australia to ease off the pressure from the frontline quicks in Perth but the seam-bowling all-rounder marked an impressive debut with the willow, top-scoring for the team with 41 runs that eventually propelled India to 150 against a quality pace attack at the Optus Stadium in Perth on Friday.
